From the very start of the process my experience was efficient, friendly and very professional. From quoting to construction and handover I was very satisfied with the team. The product itself is excellent quality and was the perfect cover for our outdoor spa. I would have no hesitation recommending this company.

We recently had a Spanline awning installed and couldn't be happier. Jamie was fantastic to work with during the design process. He was knowledgeable and helped us choose a design that perfectly suited our needs. Josh handled the installation and did an excellent job. He was professional, efficient, and paid great attention to detail. The awning was installed to a very high standard, and the finished result looks amazing. Thank you to Jamie for his expertise in design and to Josh for the quality installation. We highly recommend this team for their outstanding service and workmanship.

After a considerable wait and evaluating the competition, I decided to put my faith in Spanline. Aaron was assigned to my project and encountered some challenges on the day, notably the weather. Despite this, he remained composed, showed patience and did not complain. He made a few visits and fitting off some flashing to complete the project. I’m very pleased with the results and attention to detail and only wish I didn’t wait so long to get my carport done

We had our entertainment area fully enclosed and could not be happier with the result. These guys are true professionals who clearly take great pride in their work. From the initial design right through to manufacturing and installation, they communicated brilliantly, arrived when they said they would, and went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect and we were completely satisfied. The quality of the finished product is excellent.I can’t recommend them highly enough — they made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended!

Tips on how to keep costs down without sacrificing quality or functionality?

  1. We recommend obtaining multiple bids for your project. This will allow you to compare prices and find an option that most suits your budget.
  2. Learn all you can about materials. Your Spanline Design Advisor can help you understand the difference between materials in terms of longevity, costs and quality. Opting for low-cost materials may result in higher expenses over time.
  3. Choose a simple design. A simple design is often more affordable than an elaborate one. When you’re planning your custom home addition, keep this in mind and choose a design that is both stylish and practical. Start by reviewing our Recent Projects.
  4. Avoid unnecessary features. This will help to keep costs down without sacrificing quality.
  5. Consider the functionality of the materials and the overall design. Insulated panels or tinted windows can help with temperature regulation within the space. Consider designing your new addition to take advantage of the flow of air and direction of the sun. This can reduce the need for additional heating or cooling elements in your new area.
  6. Shop Around for Financing It’s crucial to compare offers from different lenders to find the most affordable interest rates and terms.

Spanline’s extensions, patios, and pergolas are made from high-quality materials and backed by up to 15 years warranty.* That’s worth considering when it comes time to add on to your home.

Spanline’s Expert Insights:

  • What is the purpose: Before beginning, it is important to determine the purpose of the addition. Consider if it is for extra living space, an outdoor gym or outdoor dining and BBQ area. This will help determine the size and layout of your home addition ideas. Consult with a Spanline Design Advisor to help determine the best design and layout for your specific needs
  • Obtain necessary permits: Adding onto a home typically requires obtaining permits from your local government. This ensures that the room addition meets building codes and regulations and that it is safe and structurally sound. Your Spanline team can assist you with navigating the permit process and ensuring that all requirements are met.
  • Hire a reputable contractor: It is important to hire a reputable contractor with experience in conventional additions and custom additions. Check their credentials and references, and make sure they are licensed and insured. Spanline Home Additions has been an industry leader in the home improvement sector for over 39 years, consistently delivering innovative and high-quality solutions for Australian homeowners. All Spanline builders are fully licensed and committed to continuous professional development and have hands-on experience, ensuring quality and safety in all of our home improvement projects.
  • Set a budget: Home additions require careful planning, so it is important to set a budget and stick to it. This will help ensure that you know exactly how the project will progress and what the finished project will look like.
  • Consider the design and aesthetics: A home addition should blend seamlessly with the existing home and complement its design and aesthetics. This can be achieved through careful planning and attention to detail. We are experts in creating custom home additions that enhance the overall look and feel of your home.
  • Plan for future needs: When planning your custom home addition, it’s important to consider the long-term future of your family. Will there be more children or grandchildren in the future? What about the needs of ageing parents or relatives? It’s essential to ensure that the addition is not only stylish but also functional and practical for years to come.
  • Choose materials wisely: Choosing the right materials for the addition can impact its longevity and durability. Consider factors such as weather resistance, maintenance requirements, and insulation.
  • Think about lighting and ventilation: Adequate lighting and ventilation are essential for a comfortable and healthy living space. Including these elements in the design of the addition can enhance its functionality and comfort. Consult with a Spanline Design Advisor to ensure that your addition is designed with optimal natural light and ventilation.
  • Factor in landscaping and furnishing: Landscaping and furnishings can enhance the overall look and feel of the addition, as well as provide privacy and shade.
  • Be patient: Home additions can be complex and time-consuming projects. Be patient and allow for unexpected delays or challenges that may arise during the construction process.
